Acronis and Buffalo TerraStation

Thread needs solution

We have been using Acronis successfully for several years now with minimal problems. We recently purchased a Buffalo TerraStation TS5800D032. I was able to successfully copy all of the files from my vaults to the share I created on the TerraStation i.e. NAS1. I then was able to remove the vaults one at a time from the old location and add them using the new location on NAS1. So far so good. I then created a test vault using Acronis, including directory creation. I then created a new backup plan with the new vault on NAS1. It runs for a few minutes and then errors out. Looking at the log, it says that the user was not authenticated. I have turned off the security on the share. I did create a new user. The computer I use for Acronis is in our domain but the NAS is on a separate private network that has no access to the domain. It is in a workgroup. Acronis server is at 192.168.1.100 and NAS is at 192.168.1.102. What am I missing here? I need this to work.

Well we figured it out. All of the computers to be backed up need access to the NAS. It makes sense kind of. AMS kicks of the job on the client which then attempts to write directly to the NAS. It doesn't run from the client to the server to the NAS. It will make my life more complicated though. I just tried backing up the AMS which is on the only computer directly connected to the NAS and it work fine.

You can set up a Storage Node and a managed vault located on the same NAS. With managed vaults, all agents send data to the Storage Node, and not to the NAS directly.
